🇩🇪 GERMAN CHANCELLOR ADMITS THEY FUCKED UP THE WHOLE ENERGY THING
Friedrich Merz just plainly admitted: ditching nuclear was "a serious strategic mistake" and Germany's running the world's most expensive energy transition.
"At least 3 years ago we had to leave the last remaining nuclear power plants in Germany on the grid so that we at least had the power generation capacities we had at that time.
We have taken over something that we now have to correct. But we just don't have enough energy generation capacities."
Duh, Herr Kanzler!

Nuclear energy is back – and momentum is stronger than ever.
On October 6–7, the Nordic-Baltic Nuclear Investment Summit will take place in Stockholm. This is a historic high-level meeting by the governments of Sweden and Finland, bringing together governments, investors, and innovators to scale up reliable, clean, baseload energy to ensure our security and competitiveness in a new era.
GRID INERTIA & SPANISH BLACKOUT:
An analogy in an article from @ENEC_UAE CEO Mohammad al-Hammadi contains this useful metaphor, from @QvistStaffan's team at Quantified Carbon.
Small or medium-sized disturbances on the grid become very difficult to manage and can cascade into wider instability and outages when the grid is in a low inertia condition, as was the case Monday in Spain just before the massive ongoing blackout, as seen in this snapshot captured by @JavierBlas.
Eight (!) German research institutes team up to conclude that "green hydrogen" will still be 4x as expensive as natural gas in Germany even in 2050. Of course, you could have learned this for free from @sabinehossenfelder a year ago on YouTube. https://t.co/exqH8FhjRs
We need to send this guy to Germany immediately before the next dunkelflaute. Apparently the problem is the silly Germans just forgot to turn their wind turbines on.
@Robbbie_Sharp @DPAutomation@InstituteGC What an absolute betrayal. That woman and her British counterpart should have been investigated and charged. "I couldn't tell anyone..." No shit she couldn't.
Should've been in handcuffs.
@Robbbie_Sharp @DPAutomation@InstituteGC What a lot of the delays have been from in France, Britain, and other countries is from sabotage:

Legit curious to see any footage of the pro-nuclear side which comes anywhere close to the scale of rampant institution-capture and sabotage proudly admitted here:
